Summary
- McLaren Hypercar livery honors 1974 Indy 500 win
- Features McLaren Orange, Texas flag-inspired details
- Project: Endurance debuts in 2027 FIA WEC
McLaren has unveiled a striking new livery for its Project: Endurance Le Mans Hypercar during Monterey Car Week, paying tribute to the marque’s first Triple Crown victory at the 1974 Indianapolis 500.
The design echoes Johnny Rutherford’s Indy-winning McLaren M16, finished in McLaren Orange with a dark blue center stripe inspired by the Texas flag. The roof carries a lone white star in homage to Rutherford’s “Lone Star JR” nickname, while his race number 3 sits alongside McLaren’s Speedy Kiwi and Speedmark logos.
First shown at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June, Project: Endurance marks McLaren’s return to top-level endurance racing. The customer-focused program offers buyers an authentic Le Mans Hypercar and full access to the development process, team personnel and an exclusive two-year track driving program at world-class circuits. Owners will train with professional drivers and receive pit crew and engineering support, creating a pathway to mastering the hypercar on track.
The new livery will be showcased to depositors, prospects and fans throughout August at events in Monterey, Dallas and Miami, ahead of the car’s competitive debut in the 2027 FIA World Endurance Championship.
